The Toy Dinosaur
The Toy Dinosaur
These little kids grab me with their sticky, grubby hands
It seems every week they grow, getting taller and stronger
They squeeze me ever harder until one day, they seem to stop
I was left on my shelve, alone, untouched, unbothered
My old playmate walks by with people that look like him
He laughs, runs, and plays, but not with me
Maybe he is too big to play with me, maybe he doesn’t like me
All I can do is wait, unable to move, and unable to speak
Doors
Doors
All I ever do is sit motionless, harmless, and soundless
Yet all these people do is bang on me, twist my hands to painful degrees and slam me shut
Sometimes they freeze me by twisting a gadget above my hand and the only way to free me is within the power of a slender metal object
They insert this object right into my hand (without permission) and turn it
This of course is followed by a sensation of freedom
I’ve heard stories though of my friends being attacked and smashed by cloaked people
The people take stuff without permission and always raise a loud whining sound from a machine near me
Apparently they sometimes stick mini slots on me for little hairballs to run in and out of
It disgusts me
At least when I need a bath I'm carefully soaked and scrubbed
